Snowshoe, WV

Last weekend we met up with the Packs (Aunt Lindsay, Uncle John, and cousin Natalie) in Snowshoe, West Virginia. We rented a condo and had a great time skiing, swimming, and playing.

We arrive on Friday night to cold and windy weather. Conditions had deteriorated by Saturday morning. It was freezing, REALLY wind, and snowing. We decided to pass on skiing (all but Elliot who did a 1/2 day of ski school) and hang out inside. The highlight of Saturday was the trip to the indoor pool.

Sunday was beautiful and perfect for skiing. Everyone but Lindsay (still not 100% ready to ski after her bout with GBS) and the girls. Thanks Aunt Lindsay for watching the little ones!

Elliot geared up and ready to brave the elements. 

Looking good Buddy! He got to ride the chair lift this year - pretty exciting!
What we did while Elliot was at ski school. The girls LOVED this slide- we went down at
least 20 times! The girls went down by themselves a couple of times
and even held hands on the way down. 
Natalie
Book time!
Uncle John's turn
Bath time. When they weren't fighting over Natalie's baby doll stroller,
they got along really well. 

Lunch spot on the slopes. Not a cloud in the sky. 


Exploring the village. The kids thought this
over sized chair was pretty cool



The drive home was long and ended with Beatrice freaking out and vomiting 5 miles from our house. Next year she'll want to watch DVDs and that should make the drive MUCH easier.
